I bought some extras to give it a more realistic look. I also going to change the wheels cause the original wheels are very ugly. These Hobby Design Novitec wheels look awesome!

Can't wait

Nice one!!
Great colour
It's a nice kit to put together, I've recently completed 2 of these

Good choice on the wheels, they look great already.

Did some work on this Beauty.

First I primered the body after scribing out the panellines and sanding the moldlines.

Followed by a few layers of Blu Tour De France.

http://modelbrouwers.nl/media/albums/245/2862/spuiten%20(8)%20(Custom).jpg

Also started on the engine. The engine was painted silver and a little bit of smoke. The valve covers are painted with Tenco Proto to give it a rough finish. After that I painted it flat red.

http://modelbrouwers.nl/media/albums/245/2862/spuiten%20(10)%20(Custom).jpg

The airbox was covered with carbon decal, and smoke to make it darker. The airintake was painted the same as the valve covers. I added the A+Club metal stickers and some BMF to replicate the hoseclamps.

The enginebay was also covered in carbon some smoke paint. After that I added the PE badges and original decals on top of it. I clearcoated it with 2K Clear.

I also got started on the chassis and interior.

Kris.

Looking good!

The engine bay on the last shot looks great! Good work, keep on posting.

I love this!! I'm taking notes!!

Today I completed the interior. I painted it Ocker Brown. Added PE parts like pedels, shifters, seatbelts and ventilationgrilles.

I used antracite flocking on the floor and used Modelmaster chrome silver for the aluminium dashboard parts.

Now I'm going to polish the body and paint the windowtrims.

Kris.

:sunglasse:sunglasse:sunglasse:sunglasse:sunglasse

A beige interior looks much better with a dark beige or a light brown carpet.

Meanwhile I painted the windowtrims:

The wheels were painted silver and clearcoated after adding a Ferrari badge. The wheel trims were painted metallic grey and clearcoated. After that I used Kusette chrome powder to chrome the trims. After that I putted the wheels together and added low profile Pegasus tyres on them.

The body is polished, the clearparts are glued in place and I added several mesh parts from the PE set.

The chassis got painted, I modified the suspension to fitt the new big wheels. I also glued the engine and interior in place.

Meanwhile I'm struggling to get the body on the chassis. I hope it won't be damaged.

Super model, as always ! :thumbsup:
I especially love the color. :)

Nice job.
Congrats,
Jamme

iceracer, wheels looks amazing, color too, clear interior! My tip from complete my 458: when you will final complete body and chassis, ask some friend for help. If you will have 4 hands for complete body and chassis, it much easier to put together and dont damaged something.
